Job description

Location: Netherlands

Banyan Software is the best permanent home for software businesses that serve specialized industries, their employees, and their customers. With a buy-grow-and-hold-for-life approach and a permanent capital base, Banyan acquires and grows companies worldwide, honoring founder legacies and helping portfolio companies modernize through shared AI expertise and operational discipline. Founded in 2016, Banyan operates more than 120 portfolio companies across North and South America, Europe, and APAC, and has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years. The Banyan Software Foundation, endowed with $100 million in Banyan stock, leverages technology to build a greener and more equitable world.

About Anago

At Anago, more than 55 colleagues have been making a daily impact on society for over 25 years. Our software helps public organisations plan better, prioritise more effectively, and deploy capacity efficiently — enabling faster decisions, more effective use of resources, and better responses to societal challenges. Think: faster procedures for asylum seekers, improved preventive healthcare, and better allocation of education budgets.

We have built a strong position in the Netherlands and are now actively expanding internationally, including into the United Kingdom. The coming years will be defined by scaling up, broadening our market presence, and further professionalising our commercial organisation.

At Anago, we work on impact — combining smart working with a warm, collaborative culture.

The Role

We are already taking concrete steps to integrate AI applications into our products. As Senior AI Engineer you have end responsibility for designing, setting up and further developing Anago's AI platform. As a front-runner you hold a strategic vision on AI adoption within the organisation and you put the AI structure in place.

You build the foundation on which future AI, ML and LLM solutions within our organisation are developed, rolled out and managed. Because our software is used every day by public sector organisations, you steer on security, governance, continuity, cost efficiency and explainability. After all, AI functionality that supports decisions about people must be transparent, auditable and reliable. That is also your default way of building.

You help give direction to how AI is applied within Anago, showing technical leadership and taking the lead on further AI adoption within Anago and towards our customers. This is emphatically not a research role; you spend most of your time designing, building, rolling out and managing AI systems that are used in production every day.

Qualifications for Success

• University (WO) level of education and thinking
• At least 7 years of experience in software engineering, of which at least 3 years with AI, ML or LLM solutions in production environments
• You live within a distance that makes being in the office in Den Bosch at least 50% of the time practical and sustainable over the long term
• Demonstrable experience designing, building and managing business-critical AI platforms or AI solutions at scale
• Experience with ML frameworks and MLOps tooling
• Experience with LLMOps tooling such as LangFuse, LangSmith, LangChain or similar
• Hands-on experience with cloud-native infrastructure and deployment, preferably Azure
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines and pipeline orchestration (e.g. Airflow)
• Strong programming skills (for example in Python) and experience with production environments
• Solid knowledge of software architecture, data structures, algorithms, API design and distributed systems
• A strong software engineering foundation with attention to testability, maintainability and code quality
• Experience with code reviews, automated testing, version control and modern software development processes
• Strong communication skills in English and Dutch (minimum B1)
• You take ownership of the solutions you build and feel responsible for the result in production
• You are able to translate technical complexity into practical solutions and clear choices

What can you expect from us?

You will work in an organisation where substance, collaboration and long-term impact come first. We strongly believe in the possibilities of AI and are actively building an AI-first approach within our products and our organisation.

• A key role in the development of our AI platform
• A great deal of freedom and responsibility
• Direct impact on product, technology and organisation
• Working on AI solutions with social relevance
• Working in an ambitious and technically strong team
• Room for development, experimentation and innovation
• A fixed base salary between €5,291.59 and €7,559.41, depending on experience, knowledge and skills
• Net phone and internet allowance
• 8% holiday allowance
• 26 holiday days, with the option to buy 6 extra days or 13 ADV (reduced working hours) days
• Flexible working hours and the possibility to work hybrid; our office is located close to ’s-Hertogenbosch central station, where you can work flexible hours. In addition, the possibility to work from home with a fully equipped home workspace including a work-from-home allowance
• A non-contributory pension
• Top-up of paid parental and partner leave to 100%
